ON LOVING GOD
St. Bernard of Clairvaux
On Loving God is first a touching description of God's love for us as unmistakably demonstrated in the death of his Son. Second, it is a call for us to joyfully respond to God like the child who runs to and embraces her father whose love is sure. As St. Bernard writes, "They love all the more, because they know themselves to be loved so exceedingly." On Loving God posits that everything good in human persons is an expression of God's love and by love the person may participate in the being of the triune God. Unabridged. Read by John Polhamus,
